What users are saying about
GoodData vs Tableau Desktop
GoodData brings data to life and can make BIG DATA small. Quickly, cost effectively, easy to use, and incredibly efficent. I'd Strongly Recommend.
December 6, 2013
GoodData is a very easy to use tool that provides excellent time to value. It provides excellent dashboards and visual analytics and scales very well. The quality of customer support is also very high. It is a cloud-based system which may not be appropriate to all kinds of organizations like banks and financial institutions.
GoodData for Salesforce Business Intelligence and Analytics
June 19, 2013
IT consultant helped a client evaluate and deploy the GoodSales Bash module of GoodData. They are using it to analyze sales data across regions, sales reps, and products. Pipeline monitoring was challenging using the basic Salesforce reporting, and the client had been exporting data from Salesforce into Excel for analysis. GoodData enabled the client to save at least 6 hours per week in manual data entry and analysis.
BigData = GoodData

GoodData is More Than Good!
July 16, 2015
Reporting Tool for a Non-Technical Person
October 6, 2014
GoodData has great GUI based customizable reporting tools. It would be great to have an option to easily export to Excel.
Great Product. Sharp/Flexible Reports and Easy Report Dissemination.
September 16, 2014
Although we eventually chose Tableau over GoodData, this is a very capable product. The ability to hook it up to a data warehouse is key. We connected to data from multiple sources and build powerful reports that told a story with data for end users. COlor coding for charts was a bit primitive compared to other systems.
GoodData is Ok data
September 15, 2014
GoodData has intuitive and customizable dashboards. The permission settings are straight forward and easy to manage. However, scheduling reports is not intuitive and the amount of information that can be included is limited.
GoodData, it is that good!
March 28, 2014
GoodData is very easy to use and manage. It also has a visually appealing interface and is easy to customize.
GoodData Review from a Pardot User
December 6, 2013
GoodData is one of the best early funnel reporting tools on the market. Integration with Pardot and Salesforce is very strong and it has a great UI. The only sore spot is the poor customer service.
Good Data = Good Deal
September 22, 2013
GoodData puts powerful data visualization into the hands of business users, and gets IT out of the way. It allows users to build powerful graphics combining enterprise data and external data. Although it can be challenging to a novice user, it strongly appeals to "data hound" business users capable of running large Excel pivots. Less skilled users benefit by consuming the analytics views created by their colleagues.
GoodData has delivered GreatResults
May 1, 2013
GoodData is used to integrate multiple data sources and create visualizations and dashboards to drive key business decisions. This next-generation BI tool is not a lightweight tool and does require some effort to implement, but its speed, power, and agility are unmatched.
GoodData User Feedback
September 19, 2014
GoodData has great visualization features. It would be great to be able to directly load an Excel file.
Business Intelligence re-defined!

I would surely recommend this to my colleagues.
Tableau Desktop: Making an Impact in the World of Drug Safety
June 30, 2014
Tableau Desktop provides easy access to data and the ability to quickly and easily push out a series of visualization dashboards to the Tableau Server. However, the placement of objects in a dashboard during has room for improvement. It would be great to have the ability to seamlessly read in a SAS dataset.
Need to visualize data? Look no further.
June 17, 2014
Tableau Desktop is easy to use and provides powerful mapping and charting abilities. It would be great to have more mapping options, specifically web or spider maps. While manipulating data withing the program is easy for the most part, some fields must be in the proper format to be read correctly.
Increased productivity and client satisfaction
November 5, 2013
Tableau allows us to blend data from a variety of different sources such as SQL Server and CSV and Excel files. The product is much more flexible than a pivot table and has great features like being able to link filter actions across objects on a dashboard to improve visualization and interaction for the user. Active user community.
Tableau - Great for business needs small to XL
October 25, 2013

100 Reasons why Tableau can help you!
September 26, 2013
BI consultant says Tableau is extremely good at turning large amounts of data into useful analyses. Its main selling points are the fact that it connects to almost any data source within a couple of clicks and the fact that you can slice-and-dice your data with just a few drags. It requires relatively clean, tabular data for best results, but is an exceptional product in every way.
Tableau 8.0 Review - Be a Data Rockstar
August 26, 2013
Tableau desktop is used in analysis in the areas of: Logistics, Forecasting, Demand, Sales. It's a fantastic tool for creating action based analysis and visualizations of data against multiple datasets / data types. It has a very user-friendly interface for people with varying levels of software and analysis experience. By comparison, other BI tools are much more complex requiring knowledge knowledge of SQL, ETL and Database administration.
Worked superbly for analyzing web traffic data.

Tableau Desktop has unlocked the real information behind our data
April 8, 2014
Very easy to blend data from different sources and connect to external data sources. Saving and reusing data sources is not as easy as it could be.
Tableau Desktop 8.0.4
October 18, 2013
Excellent product for accessing and transforming all data store types. Great visualizations and product is easy to use. Only issue is the lack of statistical analysis capability, but this is being addressed with integration of R.
Tableau - the better BI tool
October 15, 2013
Tableau Desktop is simple, quick and easy to create simple outputs for the novice and also very capable to scale up and get really complex for the expert. Clean visualizations that are not cumbersome or dated. Tableau connects to a variety of disparate data sources and offers faster enablement of reporting and analytics than other BI contenders.
Perfect analytics tool
September 16, 2013
We have used Tableau Desktop to build dashboards for web analytics and for analysis of financial metrics. These have enabled us to make some important business decisions about market potential and product development. Product is great at pulling data from multiple sources like relational databases and cloud databases. Training resources are excellent and deployment is very simple.
Tableau System Review
July 14, 2013
Large financial services company is very happy with Tableau. Very strong ROI due to reduced cycle times to trend and analyze data and reduce errors. It connects to any data source and is highly cost-effective and easy-to-use. Report archiving and charting images can be a little confusing.
Powerful but Easy Insight for All Skill Levels
June 20, 2013
Higher Education executive encourages end-users from admissions, financial aid, academic affairs, business operations, and IT to analyze their own data. The product is exceptionally easy-to-use and pushes analysis down to the end users who really know the business issues best.
An easy to learn, powerful tool which empowers business users and adds value to the company

New York—A "Mad Men" sequel is proving as popular with Banana Republic shoppers as it has been with TV viewers on AMC. The retailer, which had presented Fall 2011 and Spring 2012 "Mad Men" collections, said today that a third installment would premiere in select locations and online beginning March 1, 2013.
Designed by Banana Republic in collaboration with Janie Bryant, the Emmy Award-winning Costume Designer for "Mad Men," the collection takes its inspiration from costumes featured in the show reflecting the Mod vibe of the late 60s. The capsule moves away from the "Camelot" early 60s era looks and into the late 60s mod fashions.
"With a new era of fashion inspiration, the design process was exciting for us and allowed for lots of creativity, which is completely visible in the end result," said Simon Kneen, Banana Republic creative director/executive vice president. "We took Janie's mod inspiration for the costumes on-screen and translated it in a way that today's Don or Megan will aspire to wear."
The Banana Republic design team, led by Kneen, worked closely with Bryant to ensure the capsule reflected key style elements from the series. Behind the scenes, Bryant kicked off the design process by sharing her favorite costumes. Key influences include Joan's form-fitting silhouette pieces, Megan's shift dresses in psychedelic prints and bold colors, Peggy's matching accessories, and Megan's youthful effect on Don's classically traditional wardrobe.
The women's collection celebrates color, print and pattern in iconic items like a 60s-style shift dress with shorter hemlines, keyhole details, and checked capris. Accessories include a mirrored heel shoe, graphic scarves, and geometric jewelry that manage to give a nod to the time period while relating to modern runway trends seen for Spring 2013.
"In my work with Simon for the Banana Republic 'Mad Men' Spring 2013 collection, the spirit and fashion-forward thinking we see on-screen in Megan was really inspirational for the capsule," said Bryant.
The Banana Republic "Mad Men" Spring 2013 collection will appear in Banana Republic's March advertising campaign, which will appear in print, outdoor, online, direct mail and in store.

This is one of the most incredible picture I've ever seen. Tampa Bay Rays sideline reporter Kelly Nash posted this picture that she took while the team was in Boston.
"Most dangerous selfie ever. That happened."
Nash has already shot down anyone who had a thought this was Photoshopped.
Here is wide version before Instagram cropping. Sorry, I have better things to do than to Photoshop a ball into pics twitter.com/KNashSports/st…
— Kelly Nash (@KNashSports) April 29, 2013
The guys at BustedCoverage pointed out the original Instagram photo and we did a little research to find the original full-sized image that she posted on her Twitter.
Here is her explanation to FoxSports Florida:
"Producer Art Dryce had called out 'heads up!' a few times while I was taking pictures around the left field section, but none of those balls actually fell close to me, so I took my chances turning my back on batting practice for a picture.
"My whole family is from Massachusetts, and I knew they would be so excited to see me working at Fenway Park, and when I went to text them the picture I noticed the baseball by my head!


text: european union Global Journalist: Greece's last, best bailout? By Jason McLure • Aug 20, 2015 Yannis Liakos / AP Photo Greece's last two bailouts failed to rescue the country. This week, European leaders approved a new $95 billion package for the debt-stricken country. For Greeks, it means more tax hikes and cuts to pensions and other public spending–an option they soundly rejected in a nonbinding referendum in July. Still some argue that this bailout is different than the previous two – and that it may set the country on the path to recovery. Europe votes: what should you know? By Casey Morell & Jim Flink • May 15, 2014 European Parliament / Audiovisual Services for Media You're probably well aware that every country has a parliament or a legislature of some sort. But, did you know that Europe, as a whole, also has its own parliament? The European Parliament is part of the European Union, and next week, people in EU member states will go to the polls to elect their representatives. We preview the upcoming elections, talk about the potential rise of more far-right parties making a name on the European stage, and walk you through how the European Parliament works. Our guests: A conversation with the European Union's ambassador to the U.S. By Casey Morell • Apr 4, 2014 Global Journalist João Vale de Almeida is the Ambassador of the European Union to the United States of America. He sat down with Global Journalist's Jason McLure to discuss the crisis in Ukraine, the EU-U.S. relationship, and other topics.

You can watch the interview below: Executions on hold as Mo. seeks new death drug By Person: Associated Press • Oct 15, 2013 Nottingham Vet School / Flikr Missouri's decision to not use the anesthetic propofol for capital punishment leaves the state with dwindling options as it seeks to execute two convicted murderers. Gov. Jay Nixon last week halted what was to have been the first U.S. execution to use propofol following threats from the European Union to limit the drug's export. Nixon ordered the state corrections department to come up with a different lethal injection protocol. Anesthetic use in Mo. could have impact across the country By Chris McDaniel • Oct 7, 2013 Nottingham Vet School / Flikr If Missouri goes through with using a common anesthetic in two executions later this year, it could have a very real impact on hospitals throughout the U.S. Gov. Jay Nixon said Monday the state will be moving forward with the executions. The European Union says they will consider possible export limits of the anesthetic propofol if Missouri uses the drug in executions scheduled for this month and next. The U.S. gets the vast majority of the common anesthetic from the EU. Drugs used in Mo. executions bump into European Union law By Casey Morell • Oct 1, 2012 Nitzan Brumer / FLICKR Missouri's plans to use the anesthetic propofol in executions may face new delays. In May, Missouri announced it was switching to propofol after sodium thiopental, another drug commonly used in executions, became harder to acquire. But, Fresenius Kabi USA, one of propofol's two domestic suppliers, announced last week it was instructing its distributors not to fill orders from departments of corrections in the United States.

Select Local Merchants
Fusion Bakery & PatisserieRead MoreStillanos Pikos has gone from watching stock prices fall on Wall Street to watching cakes rise in the ovens at Fusion Bakery & Patisserie. The bakery owner—who is originally from the Greek island of Rhodes—found his original career in finance to be less than fulfilling. After resisting the urge to follow in the footsteps of his family's food business, Pikos decided to enroll in the Connecticut Culinary School. He worked at an exclusive hotel restaurant before assisting friends with their bakeries, which gave rise to the development of Fusion Bakery & Patisserie. Jeff Mill of The Middletown Press notes that the name represents "a combination of European and American desserts," and that the establishment "is a throwback to a time not so long ago when every town had a bakery, and often more than one." Pikos and fellow pastry chef Jen McGuinness bake cinnamon rolls, brownies, danishes, baklava, and scones from scratch every morning. They prepare decadent wedding and specialty cakes, including The Very Best Carrot Cake with cream-cheese frosting and optional nuts. As reported by Cassandra Day of Middletown Patch, the bakery ran a "Where's Ginger?" holiday promotion in which patrons guessed the location of a gingerbread man shown in photos around town to win a free pound of cookies and a year of icing-based vinyl siding repairs.100 Riverview Center, Ste 135Middletown, CT US

Get stuck.
Come watch Spamfish and The Melted Fridge, every Monday to Friday at 6pm GMT, Midday Central US, 10 am Pacific
We have all been there. That point in a game where you have absolutely no clue what to do, and seem to have exhausted every possibility. Running around in looping circles, pressing the same buttons over and over and over again. You continue to try things despite the fact you know they won't work as you have attempted them ten times before already. You are stuck.
This is a perennial problem faced by gamers, and one that is generally dealt with in two ways. The easiest, and probably most common, thing to do is quit the game. Just do it, rage quit. You know you want to. Maybe throw the controller at the wall, or swear under your breath. You could shout some hate-filled bile at your closet loved-one, family pet, or even that wall that just recovered from a controller to the face. Some gamers even punch cushions, or kick chairs in order to vent their frustration levels that have been building up for hours. You tell yourself that all you need is a break, get refreshed, and when you reattempt it later somehow the answer will present itself towards like a finger pointing to your destiny. Many gamers will play a more relaxing, less mentally challenging game just to chill out and let-go, and will take up the cause of advancement at a later date with renewed aplomb. That brings us to the second option, a dark and shadowy path many gamers will travel along, but not many willingly admit to it. After a period of futile experimentation and tempered frustration, you relent and look it up on-line, or ask a friend. You succumb to the power of the walk-through. ''It's OK!'' is what you tell yourself, it will be just this once, and you won't use it again.
Getting stuck has been a staple component of many games since Atari ruled the world. Back in the day, there weren't on-line guides, FAQs, or websites devoted to intricate game tactics and step-by-step strategy. Games would punch you in the gut, stamp on your face and kick sand in your eyes and expect you to like it. You would simply dust yourself down, and try again. Then you would die again, but at least this time you made it slightly further along. You were making progress, and given the fact that you only had two other games and there was no other way of finding out what to do, you waded through the bog of unending frustration one inch at a time.
Those times have changed. The explosion in popularity of gaming over the past decade has brought with it many new elements to the gaming experience. Developers and publishers now have to appeal to a far wider spectrum of people, and this has resulted in what can only be described as a severe dumbing-down in the amount of problem-solving you are expected to participate in. Most games these days will hold your hand for a huge amount of time, showing you what to do, what those buttons are for, and explain in meticulous detail every mechanic and operational function in the game. If you actually get stuck, all you have to do is look around for that shiny/glowing/flashing/pulsing piece of scenery, or maybe even just press a button and follow the vibrant neon trail that appears on the ground. Sometimes you won't even need to push a button, as their is a constant bread-crumb trail for you to follow so you could not possibly get off course. If after all these hints, tips, way-points and guides you are still struggling, getting lost and forever dying, you could always just pause the game and let the games artificial intelligence do the rest. Just sit back and watch an N.P.C complete the level for you.
What have we become? What is the point of even playing games anymore? We have got ourselves in such a situation that complete blueprints are released before the game is even out, and many games will have an official guide as a bundled extra. Whilst it is good to have these options, and it is up to each individual to decide for themselves how they want to play a game, it seems that getting stuck simply isn't a dilemma for people to even contemplate anymore. There are too many other games to play, too many other distractions to fill our day. People just don't have time to be stuck anymore.
The next time you do get stuck in game, try and embrace the difficulty and frustration. Rather than automatically look for the hint button, or click on that website for tips, just take your time. Run around in endless circles, keep trying the same thing over and over and over again, and most importantly - get annoyed. It is only through struggle that we can improve, and sometimes it is good to be lost in the darkness. The only things worth achieving in life (and games) are difficult. It is supposed to be that way. The battle and strife through the wilderness just makes the moment you see the path again all the more profound.
No-one should want to have their hand-held whilst being pointed towards the bread-crumbs on the illuminated pathway. Go and get lost in the virtual woods, you never know what you might find.

Your game, was the prettiest game, of all the games.
Yesterday I played Dear Esther on my Descrutoid Live stream over at
I stream at 6pm GMT, Midday US Central, 10am Pacific, Monday to Friday.
Trying to comprehensibly explain 'what is art?', or make a reasoned argument for why something is artistic, is tough. What is beautiful, inspiring and thought-provoking to one person can be a pile of pretentious nothing for others. It is the very nature of trying to define the undefinable, or explain in words something that cannot be described, that is the biggest problem. Art is a number of things, and yet the simplest thing of all. It is everything and nothing. It is exactly what one individual sees through their own eyes, and is resonate and inspiring to them alone. How can anyone possibly try to cheapen such a profound emotional, mental and physical reaction in an easy to read sentence, paragraph or article. Why would someone even attempt to do this?
Released on Valentine's Day on Steam, Dear Esther is a Source mod that has existed in a free-to-download form since 2008. The recent release on Steam ties in with a major graphical update, and will now set u back �6.99. The update and re-release has once again started debate and controversy amongst gamers, as they find it hard to accept whether a game can be art, the limitations and expectations of the medium, or whether it is a game at all.
Dear Esther has no real central game-play mechanic, there is no need for twitch reflex or pattern recognition, and there are no bosses to fight or weapons to unlock. The only thing you actually need to know is that its set on an island, and it might be the prettiest, most bewilderingly beautiful game you have ever seen. Literally, that's all you need to know. Seriously. Go play it now.
Actually, that should read 'Go EXPERIENCE it now.' This is not a game. So, what is it then? That's were the problem arises, much like trying to define what art itself is, trying to categorize or define this experience ultimately cheapens and lessens it. Even the simplistic constructs of words and sentences would defile any attempt to explain what makes this experience great. However, like a rambling drunk ranting over a piece of wordless music, sometimes mindless opinion cannot be ignored. In that case, its time to drink up and get back to the ranting...
There are moments in Dear Esther where just the beauty of the world created overwhelms the 'player' like a painting by Monet. There are vistas and views that you stumble upon that rival the composition of any film of Kubrick or Malick. There are events in the game that will send shivers up your spine, make your hair stand-up on end and start you heart-racing. This is all done with a subtle let explicitly realized cinematography, location and design. Like an expert magician, Dear Esther uses a 'smoke and mirrors' technique to lead you down interesting visual paths, and mental highways. There are echoes of 'proper' games like Half-Life 2 or Wind Waker, where you will be following a direction or gaining your bearings, and the beauty of the environment before you will just hit you like a storming epiphany. Comparisons to these games are unfair as this is not an experience to try to categorize or define, it is something to be lived, to be breathed in, like the chilling wind on an abandoned beach or the view from a top of a mountain.
Dear Esther does suffer from overly-wordy dialog at times, something that many of these art games are guilty of. This is however a nature of the limitations of words, especially when set against a backdrop of ethereal and transient delights. This is an experience that doesn't fall into lazy definitions where we can set the parameters of our expectations based on what genre it falls under, or what category it fits into. You cannot explain why the Mona Lisa is beautiful, or why Pink Floyd can take you breath away. Sometimes the best lyrics are those that cannot be explained, the best paintings are the ones where you don't really know what your looking at. The most vibrant emotions are often the ones we cannot decipher or rationalize.
The overwhelming feeling Dear Esther gives off cannot be surmised in an article, or explained in any literal way. Just go and experience it. It is truly a stunning, emotive and ultimately up-lifting journey that you will not regret taking. Either that or it's a load of overblown, pompous waffle with some nice graphics.

Undead Nightmare Review
I recently played through Undead Nightmare on my Destructiod Live show at
(I cast at 6PM GMT, Midday Central, 10am Pacific Monday-Friday)
Here is a review I wrote this morning...
Let me know what you think, 1st proper review I have wrote in a few years...
PS3, Xbox 360 (Version Reviewed)
Whether it's barricading yourself in an empty pub, navigating an abandoned shopping mall, or setting up a camp in a remote location, movies have been preparing us for the (inevitable) zombie apocalypse ever since Romero's first undead minion rose from the grave.
This infestation that has been feasting on the brains of cinema-goers for generations had largely been resisted by a few hardy heroes of the video game world.
Leon Kennedy. Jill Valentine. That spiky-haired dude with 3D glasses. G. This is all we needed to protect us from the slavering horde. Then all hell broke lose. Like a zombie outbreak itself, suddenly they were everywhere.
It started, like it always does, from a few clever/mad individuals messing around with stuff they probably shouldn't. In 2005 Alex Quick released a demo, based off the Unreal Engine 2, called Killing Floor. It was a simple game, survive wave after wave of zombie attacks whilst upgrading your gear as you go, but the central mechanic was great and people couldn't get enough of the 'just one more go' game-play.
Before the world had a chance to realize what was happening, it had begun.
Frank West (he covered wars, you know?) was using anything he could get his hands on, or body in, to smash hundreds of the undead into a festering soup in the Romero inspired Dead Rising.
A small group of unknown developers by the name of Valve, started experimenting with mob-spawning in the Source Engine in-between coding sessions. They quickly discovered the power of the undead tide was too strong to resist, and Left 4 Dead was born.
Before we knew it, the zombies had infected even the Call Of Duty franchise, with World At War's defining zombie-mode fully establishing a legitimate undead presence in the video game world, which now extends to an official George A Romero DLC for Black Ops entitled Call of the Dead.
Now we have a plethora of games, covering every platform and game type, shuffling, stumbling and/or running ceaselessly toward us. The survival-minded gamer can take on these abominations as a plant, a tourist, a tycoon, the army, a wrangler, a Japanese Yakuza, a driver or even a cowboy....
Released both as an expansion for the lauded cowboy-em-up Red Dead Redemption, and as a stand-alone game, Undead Nightmare is Rockstar's attempt to reanimate the (SPOILER ALERT) corpse of John Martson.
The story is totally separate from the main canon storyline of RDR, and sees Martson and family at home on their farm. Before you can ask 'What's that smell?' his wife and son have been infected, and John must set out again into the Wild West in order to find a cure for his family.
The game-play is much the same as the main game, albeit more focused and with less variety. Zombies are considerably more hardy than your average cowboy, as body shots will only provide a brief respite from attack before they stagger to their feet again. The best and only advice is, like Shaun said, 'Aim for the head.' Whilst you may have spent most of the time in the uninfected world lazily picking off cattle-rustlers and bandits with easy kills, each and every zombie kill feels like an achievement, and packs of zombies present a real challenge.
Undead Nightmare uses the original games 'Dead-Eye' system, which with a press of the thumb-stick allows the player to slow down time, and carefully pick your shots to maximize killing efficiency. It could be argued this was a rather redundant feature, as RDR's shooting mechanic and aiming system was such that you never really needed to use it except to show off or save time. This is not the case anymore, as you will need every advantage you can get your hands on to prevent Martson from becoming lunch. Even the generic, everyday zombie can be a problem at times, and when you add in large groups containing more advanced mob-types with refined attacks, it won't be long before your chewing tobacco to refill your dead-eye meter like a zombie will chew threw your brain if you don't.
Its not just the humans who are suffering in this outbreak, as RDR's much celebrated environments have succumbed too. Zombie bears and sasquatches will stalk you in Tall Trees, bats fly away when you disturb the bushes, and all the towns have been over-run. So it's up to you to save them.
Saving towns is the main non-mission mode in Undead Nightmare. You will see a town become over-run by an icon on your map, and upon entering you will need to help the last surviving residents by killing zombies. A bar will appear at the top of your screen, telling you how many undead you have to kill before you can claim back the town for the living. When this is done, you will be rewarded with ammo, the respect of the town, and the ability to save and fast travel. Be warned though, as those zombies don't give up easily, and it won't be long before the town is under attack again.
You will spend a great majority of your time in the Zombiefied West saving these towns from the ever-spawning masses, or attempting to stem the rise of the undead by burning graveyards and taking out boss zombies. There are a number of actual scripted story missions too, featuring some of the more memorable characters such as West Dickens and Seth. The cut-scenes that accompany these missions are on the same high level as those from the original, with returning voice actors and premium production quality shining through. Unfortunately, the cut-scenes, like the missions that follow them, are over pretty quickly, and it wont be long before your back saving towns and burning graveyards.
The single-player campaign will take around six hours to finish, but if you want to unlock and see everything (you will) that time is greatly extended. Even after that you could play endlessly if you desired, such is the compelling nature of the world. There are plenty of new challenges and tasks available so there is always a fun distraction to be had. These include the rather awesome Four Horses of the Apocalypse - War, Pestilence, Famine, and Death - unique-themed and skinned mounts that spawn around the world at certain locations. They are well worth the effort to track and break, and if you are able to tame all four, a pretty killer surprise awaits. You also get two new game modes for multi-player, Undead Overrun and Tilted Land Grab, and some new skins for your avatar too!
Undead Nightmare packs in more content than maybe any DLC that has come before. It can even could be argued as a stand-alone game it offers more fun and varied game-play that most full-price releases. Red Dead Redemption was a game that had a truly beautiful, cinematic world. It was an environment where you didn't need to do main story missions in order to have fun, in fact many people will have more fun just messing about and riding around, and Undead Redemption extends this sense of exploration, creativity and imagination.
Overall, this is a stellar piece of DLC, and the few concerns you may have about repetitive game-play is totally overcome by the brain-hungry, action-packed, content-filled experience that awaits you. Zombies might be taking over, but if this is what the Undead Apocalypse will look like, serving your brain up on a platter for the horde to feast on maybe a better option than hiding in the pub.

An old Little Big Planet 2 Review ...
Here is a review for LBP2 i wrote about a year ago....
There should be a school to prepare you for this game. Engineering, construction, social ethics, and art could be courses, and Stephen Fry would be the velvet-tongued tutor. There would be no fees required; the only price of admission is imagination.
Little Big Planet 2 is the sequel to the 2008 GOTY, released with the defining mantra ��Play. Share. Create.�� Since then thousands of devotees have joined the cause of creativity, armed with their variety of costumes, levels and contraptions. The fact that there are already 3 million levels made (they aren�t all shark survival levels) is testament to the devotion of Media Molecules army of inspired revolutionaries.
To some, it may seem all MM have done is sharpen the visuals, added a few contraptions, and padded it with a basic story mode that is essentially one great big tutorial. Unfortunately, these souls have the Negativatron in their hearts.
The new contraptions such as bounce pads, sackbots, a grappling gun, and the creatinator ( a gun that can shoot anything) add large amounts of fun and challenge, and have huge scope for inventive community interpretation.
However, the biggest game changer is the new �Direct Control� feature. This allows a inspired disciple to map the control of an object onto your PS3 controller. Aside from the inevitable �you ARE the shark� levels, expect RPGs, shooters, classic game re-inventions and everything in-between to be dreamed into existence over the coming months and years.

All-American David Taylor was named Big Ten Wrestler of the Week
Jan. 3, 2012
UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. - Penn State Nittany Lion wrestler David Taylor (St. Paris, Ohio) has been named Big Ten Wrestler of the Week for the week ending Jan. 2, 2012. The honor is the first for the Nittany Lion sophomore.
Taylor, the 2011 Big Ten Wrestler of the Year and Big Ten Rookie of the Year, got the nod for a 5-0 run to the 165 pound Southern Scuffle title. Taylor posted three pins, a tech fall and a major and improved to 14-0 on the year. He majored #20 Kyle Blevins of Appalachian State in the semifinals before pinning Big Ten rival Cody Yohn, ranked #10, at the 2:34 mark in the championship finals. Taylor was named the 2012 Southern Scuffle Most Outstanding Wrestler and was one of four Penn State individual champions.
The Nittany Lions rolled past No. 3 Minnesota to claim the team crown with 191.5 points to Minnesota's 177.0. Taylor, an All-American national and national finalist as a freshman last year, is now 52-1 for his career. The honor is the second for Penn State as junior Bryan Pearsall (Lititz, Pa.) won on Dec. 20.

The road Big Ten battle will take part place in Battle Creek's Kellog Center. Penn State's next home dual is on Sunday, Jan. 22, when Iowa invades Rec Hall for a 2 p.m. dual that is already sold out. The Nittany Lions then host Ohio State on Sunday, Jan. 29, at 2 p.m. Fans can purchase a limited number of `standing room only' tickets for the Ohio State dual by calling 814-865-5555.

Woman found slain in Homewood identified as East Liberty resident
The woman who was found shot to death along a secluded, dead-end street in Homewood was identified on Wednesday as a resident of East Liberty.
The body of Samantha Powe, 30, was found Tuesday afternoon along the side of Hallam Street, a spokesman for the Allegheny County Medical Examiner's Office said. An autopsy showed she died of head wounds, the spokesman said.
Her body was found lying face down in a puddle by a motorist who was turning around because of a tree and power lines that were downed on Perchment Street because of a storm.
Pittsburgh homicide detectives are still trying to identity suspects and confirm a motive for the slaying, said police Lt. Daniel M. Herrmann.

"I think everybody out there is pretty much in the same boat, just trying to get better day by day," Belichick said. "Some guys are starting at different points. He's obviously starting at a point different than where other players were.
"They're all moving along."
Kraft praised Tebow for his competitiveness, hard work and spirituality. He called him a "winner" with a great attitude.
That, however, may not be enough as he tries to secure a regular-season roster spot.
"Having him as part of our franchise is great, but he has to compete just like anyone else," Kraft said. "He's just one of 90 people (in camp) right now, so I wonder if we haven't talked enough about him. But if you want to keep talking about him, we can do that."
And he did.
He said he was in on the discussions to sign Tebow.
"Look," Kraft said, "life is about collecting good people around you, who you like to have with you and who want to win. I think he like many of our other players fall in that category."
Tebow worked out only at quarterback during the two practices.
Brady thought for a moment when asked how he would feel if he had to come off the field if Belichick wanted to use a play designed for Tebow, a good runner.
"I have no idea," he said. "That's a very hypothetical question. So, maybe we'll deal with it if it happens."
Replacing one of the NFL's best quarterbacks with one who couldn't take playing time away from a struggling Mark Sanchez with the Jets last year is highly unlikely.
"In my mind, we have the greatest quarterback of all time on our team," Kraft said. "Every time he has the ball in his hand, we have a chance to do something great."
Tebow, of course, has accomplished much less than Brady. But he also brings a dimension that Kraft likes.
"He's hard-working. He's very cooperative. I don't think there's any coach that wouldn't like to have a team full of people like he is, sort of like Brady," Kraft said. "They're all business and you can't get enough people like that on your team.

Large company; easy to ride economic downturns. Lots of opportunities internally to move around. Large breadth of technical knowledge within the company; you can always learn something new.

Investors who stayed put in the Pimco Total Return fund that Gross had managed for decades are up 1.7 per cent, the FT reports.» Read More
NEW YORK, May 28- Some of the biggest names in the investment world have been whipsawed by the recent rise in global yields and the strength in the euro against the dollar, with investors bracing for more sharp moves later this year stemming from central bank actions. Pimco's flagship Total Return Fund, which lost its crown as the biggest bond fund in the world in...
May 14- Pimco's global equities Chief Investment Officer Virginie Maisonneuve is leaving after less than a year and a half as the bond investment giant narrows its stock-investing focus, it said on Thursday. Hodge said Pimco would continue to manage dividend and long-short strategies and expand the firm's enhanced equities strategies, including those in...
May 14- Pimco's global equities Chief Investment Officer Virginie Maisonneuve is leaving the bond powerhouse, it said on Thursday, less than a year and a half after she was hired. In September, Bill Gross, co-founder of Pacific Investment Management Co, left his post as chief investment officer and joined mutual fund management firm Janus Capital, a move that...
The surge in bond yields was puzzling, given muted economic growth, says Greg Davis at Vanguard, which just took the bond-fund crown from Pimco.
Mutual fund giants aren't just interested in publicly traded companies. Increasingly, they also want to own a piece of red-hot start-ups.
*Allianz says can't tell when inflows may start. *Allianz Q1 operating profit +4.8 pct, net +11 pct. FRANKFURT/ MUNICH, May 6- Outflows of customer funds from U.S. investment manager Pimco will hurt earnings this year- and it is not yet possible to predict when flows might turn positive again, owner Allianz warned on Wednesday.
The Pimco Total Return Fund, launched by Bill Gross, has lost its title as the world's biggest bond mutual fund, following two years of withdrawals.
May 4- The Pimco Total Return Fund, launched by Bill Gross, has lost its title as the world's biggest bond mutual fund, following two years of withdrawals. On Monday, Pimco said investors yanked another $5.6 billion from the Pimco Total Return Fund last month, bringing its assets to $110.4 billion at end of April.

NEW YORK, April 29- Former Federal Reserve chairman Ben Bernanke is joining bond giant Pimco as a senior advisor, as the firm seeks to bolster its star power following the departure of co-founder Bill Gross.

NEW YORK, April 21- Bill Gross of Janus Capital Group Inc said on Tuesday that German 10- year Bunds were "the short of a lifetime" and that the trade could earn 10-15 percent over a period of one to two years.

The stronger dollar is a net-positive for the U.S. economy and the stock market, former Pimco managing director Paul McCulley tells CNBC.
Two analysts told CNBC that they saw no traces of a stock bubble and even said that the market is undervalued at the moment.
Janus Capital's Bill Gross on Monday said the Nasdaq hitting 5,000 represents "a little bit of a bubble."
Ultra-easy central bank policies are about to come back to bite the economy, Gross said in his latest letter to investors.

Horrible experience. I purchased the 20" standard set because they were $100 and that's a good price for extensions. I was super excited when they arrived only to find that when I put them in my hair, they were so ridiculously thin that nothing could make them look normal. My hair isn't even that thick. And it's pretty long too. I called customer service and politely explained the situation, who informed me that I can't return the extensions. I literally had them out of the package for 5 minutes. I explained that I'm a college student and can't just blow $100 for no reason. I can't use these extensions, and the pictures and videos they showed were not what they looked like in my hair. I wouldn't have purchased them if they didn't have all of those pictures and videos with the girls having full, long beautiful hair. I'm furious, and I will never purchase from them again. Use caution when buying from them.

This was my very first time buying extensions and let me tell you, I am gonna think it twice before buying another set online. I have seen extensions before were they're thick and you receive a good amount for $100. When I received my package it came in a ugly packaging. Also the extensions are extremely thin and for someone with thick hair is disappointing. Also they came with ALOT of white hairs and red thread! Like for the price you would atleast think they would remove or atleast dye it but no! Would I buy this product again? Heck no!!!

I am currently suffering my way through a HORRID hair cut, yeah, we all go through those right? My hairdresser (who I will never go back to) chopped 6 to 7 inches off and it's not even straight... hair extensions were a must. I stumbled upon Pro Extensions and you CANNOT beat their price: only $99 for a standard 20" set ANNNNND FREE OVERNIGHT SHIPPING. gahhhh. granted, it's not really "overnight" (more like 2 to 3 days) but every other company takes weeks to get them to you. and it's FREE. but, anywho, the product is pretty good... i first ordered the standard 20" light blonde set and my hair is so thick, it didn't blend even a little bit. so i just ordered the standard 14" set ($70, unbeatable!) and, even though that was about 3 days ago, i still haven't received them (damn "overnight" shipping) but i think with both of those sets and the differing lengths, my extensions will blend seamlessly into my natural, currently hideous, hair. the extensions themselves are suuuuper soft, don't shed, and only have minor tangling that's easy to fix if you store them correctly and brush them on a day to day. all in all, i do recommend this product. you simply can't beat the price or the 3 to 4 day shipping, but remember, if you have thicker hair: order 2 sets!

Bought 2 sets of these hair extensions 100 grams each since I heard they were thin so all together the hair should have be 200 grams but even with 2 sets of these extensions in they are horribly thin. I have a set of hair extensions that are 160 grams that look twice as thick as 2 sets of these in my hair so that leads me to believe they are less grams than advertised. There is hardly any hair on the wefts I knew they would be thin from previous reviews i have read but not this bad! When i received them there were pieces of the weft falling out and one of the clips were broken. The only reason I bought them after reading how thin they were is because I heard it was good quality hair which was not the case for my set at all after wearing them for a couple days the ends are getting dry, coarse and breaking off even though I haven't used any heat products on them! I have had Sally's extensions (which are only 80 grams but look more thicker than these), Foxy Locks, head kandy, and bellami hair extensions which all give you much more hair for the price with same if not better hair quality. All in all worst extensions I ever bought and worst customer service. I emailed them telling them I wasn't satisfied with my purchase not asking for a refund since I know its nonrefundable and I never received an email back from them and its been over a month now! I spent $200 something for these and don't even get an email back from the company after they have my money. Please don't purchase these extensions you can go elsewhere for better quality, price and customer service!

I LOVE PRO EXTENSIONS!!!!!!! I've been purchasing my extensions from Pro Extensions for almost two years now, and I must say, I have never been disappointed. I buy the standard 20 inch set in the color #4 Chocolate Brown and it blends perfectly with my hair color. I have thick hair, and even though the standard sets are 100 grams, it doesn't even look like I'm wearing hair extensions. I always get complements on my hair by people who think my hair is naturally long! my extensions usually last 5 months, and I use heat on my hair almost everyday. I have dyed these extensions before and never had a problem. Plus the best bonus of these extensions is the free overnight shipping!!! :D If you're looking for durable beautifully soft hair extensions, you should definitely consider buying pro extensions <3

I have naturally dark brown hair I ordered the standard clip in 14in color #1b off black because it looked more close to my hair on the website soon as I opened them I could tell they were to black they looked yet black nothing off about them so I paid 10$ to ship it back plus 5$ for return shipping for now a 14b #2 dark brown it took 2 weeks n as soon as I got the #2 set I could tell they were now too light. So now I sent back the dark brown paid shippin n return shippin for the 1B back. Tried them in my hair and nope way to dark. So now I try to dye them to match. My professional hair stylist dyed them twice but without bleaching them the set was still too dark. When she died them I noticed the hair thinned n weren't as full. I also noticed I had a lil trouble now snapping them. So now I have a super dark set of clip ins I can't do anything with. Beyond frustrated I have hair from other brands n have always been a 1b. My birthday is ruined

Definition: Macchiato by Susannah Chen 5/12/10 18 Shares Like us on Facebook Sign up for our daily newsletter > Follow us on Pinterest At coffee college, Starbucks coffee masters set the record straight on the definition of this drink. Macchiato is simply Italian for "marked," and typically refers to an espresso macchiato — an espresso shot that's been dotted with a dollop of frothed milk. In contrast, a latte macchiato is steamed and frothed milk marked with espresso that's poured over the top, and a caramel macchiato is a variation of a latte macchiato with vanilla syrup and caramel drizzle on top.

Per NFL Media draft analyst Chad Reuter, if Marshall senior RB Devon Johnson can prove he's as "quick and agile as 2014 second-round big backs Carlos Hyde and Jeremy Hill, who both had success as rookies, then teams looking for a power back could take the leap in the top half of the draft."
